60 Skill Enhancement

Hmmmm lets eat something Western for todays lunch.

I decide the lunch as I look at the ingredients listed on our refrigerators display, take some out and start cooking.

Onee-chan! Details!

How much details?

All of it?

Are you sane?

As a list..

Ahh, okay. Welll...

So, she wants me to explain the main points. If I was to explain the circumstances it would turn fairly long, but I would still manage.

I read a book in the library and learned of Nethers existence.

My Alchemys teacher is a granny, so I asked her about the entrance to Nether and was introduced to a church person.

The person that was introduced was an important person and she taught me the location of the entrance, although she warned me that it isnt certain since only Immortals can see it.

I went over right away and got beaten up horribly, so I took some time to level up.

After the event ended, I took Ske-san and Alf-san with me and retried it.

We managed to safely get past the enemy and arrive at the old temple. After I found the entrance and went inside, as royalty I ignored the trials and arrived in Nether.

I was taken straight to the chancellor, then when I sat on the throne just as I was told to, there was that announcement.

For the time being I stopped thinking and went to Stelura-sama's statue to pray and evolve.

After that, I joined up with the two who finished their trials. And here I am now.

I see. Then you didnt confirm your Skills yet?

I think I will check my equipment and Skills after eating.

Your equipment changed?

It changed and its no longer gray.

HEEE! So, is it good enough for using?

Values have changed so I should be able to?

I chat with my little sister about the game as we eat a meal, and also write down information on the BBS.

Oh, something weird appeareth.

Management sure has it hard...

Well, whatever. Can other players go to your home, Onee-chan?

Who knows? I didnt check the details of the housing system yet...

That is part of what I need to confirm. It would be a very lonely house if I couldnt call anyone inside.

I should be able to make a field there should I cultivate Alchemy materials? Well, first I need to confirm things.

Still, you can decide a family name, right?!

The only one I decided was middle name, the family name is one I heard from the chancellor and already existed.

Is that so? A family name that already existed in Nether maybe I shouldnt say it too lightly?

Im curious if people on the surface know it, if anything.

Then Ill go ask a few Residents.

Do that. You can tell me results during dinner.

Got it~.

I finish my meal and while reading boards, I leisurely exercise my body before logging in.

Right away I get to check items I can set-up through the housing menu, oh, there is a Stellura-samas mini statue that works as a portal. By setting it up, it becomes possible to teleport from it.

Lets make the condition for entering the house be being a friend. Any friend will be able to come to my house from a portal.

A statue costs 500k, huhh. Its nice that its possible to purchase things using deposited money, but it feels like my deposit will go empty.

For now, its necessary so I purchase it. The place to set it lets place it at the front entrance. Looks like I got registered with the portal. Might as well set this place as my revival point.

High-priority purchases for housing are a kitchen for housing, as well as Alchemy pedestal for housing and a field.

Furniture is also listed, but they are sold for real money. It appears that its possible to make furniture with crafting skills, so lets use that. I will order furniture at Primula-sans and Dantel-sans places.

For the time being, lets quickly prepare a mini statue. Housing is pretty much end content stuff, after all. Lets take my time with the other parts. My money disappearing in millions at a time is a bit too much on me.

There isnt enough money to level-up the shed that is the Outsiders respawn point, so I leave it be.

Hm Might as well go and ask Chancellor to teach me right away Im curious about Book of Eibon. And for a change of pace from it, I can have them teach me swordsmanship. Doesnt that sound nice?

Lets stay in Nether for a while and deepen my relations with everyone while at it.

Now that its decided, chaaarge into Evernight Castle next door.

I catch a maid and ask her for the chancellors location.

Chancellor, teach me language right away. I also plan to learn swordsmanship during breaks.

Ohhh, I dont mind. Improving oneself is a great thing. How young. But Sire, first you need to know that you shouldnt teach it to surface-dwellers.

Is that so?

Surface has its own pace of progressing is all I will say, ehm.

Well, there must be reasons. It is a pain to teach anyone, so I have no problem staying quiet about this, so its all fine.

I have him teach me plenty right away.

In real, about 15 minutes have passed?

Magic Linguisticss understanding increased to 10%.

And there, I saw a log text pass by the corner of my vision. That was faster than I thought...

Two and a half hours of talking with the Chancellor. About 10 hours ingame.

Magic Linguisticss understanding increased to 100%.

Magic Linguistics reached the limit of its growth, Wizardry Linguistics was unlocked.

Nn, Wizardry Linguistics was unlocked.

As expected, Sire. You learn really fast. Will you continue learning Wizardry Linguistics now? In which case, I will have you say an oath on Stellura-sama. That you will not spread this knowledge.

On Stellura-sama?

I think that humanity has yet to understand Wizardry Linguistics, you see.

Which means that normally, everyone stops at Magic Linguistics? If they are unable to decode it, it means there are no instruction books and learning it from scratch in a library would be hell.

Wizardry Linguistics

A special language passed on among few.

Magic is the version that has been generalized for everyones use, and Wizardry is its predecessor.

While more powerful than magic, its users are limited.

If you grow close to certain high Inhumans, then maybe...

...Looks like I need to have Chancellor to teach me this.

But speaking of high Inhumans, its not just the chancellor other players can just search for one to teach them. No need to hesitate.

I spend 10SP and learn it. I have 54SP left, hm?

Its already a third tier skill, but theres further Ancient Divine Linguistics above that, yes? I will lose more SP

I swear an oath on Stellura-sama, its still before 3 p.m. in real so I continue.

Wizardry Linguisticss understanding increased to 10%.

...Although I assumed that would be the case, its turned harder to raise.

Earlier I did 100% in two and a half hour, but now it takes me three hours to get 10%? Its nearly 6 p.m..

Umm in real, six hours is one day in game and 20%. In other words, to max out Wizardry Linguistics it will take five days in game, which is 30 hours in real. One day and six hours it is.

Alright, lets do some swordsmanship!

Chancellor, it appears that there is a long way ahead, so I will take a break. Swordsmanship time.

Hmm, then lets go to the training grounds. She should be there.

We head to the training grounds that are in a corner of the castles grounds. It's the knights' training grounds, naturally.

Although I say knights, its not just armor people. There are Zombies and Astrals, there are bones in there too. We walk to where those people of knight job are.

Granin.

My, Chancellor.

Do teach Sire swordsmanship.

I am Svetlana Granin. Please call me Lana, Sire.

She shows a splendid curtsy.

Lana is a beauty who has semi-long blonde hair reaching a little below shoulders and slightly sharp blue eyes. Her level? Shes 100, as if it was only natural.

Looks like its fine to call her without a suffix since Im the king here.

My race is Astral-type, Einherjar Swordmaster.

...Einherjar, is she. I know that one without even researching.

A hero, are you?

An ex-hero. Here, I am merely one of Astrals. It was in the Empire, too.

She laughed embarrassedly and stuck out her tongue as she said it. Quite a mischievous person, isnt she?

By Empire, you mean Dinight?

So it still exists?

Yes. Although, we Outsiders are having a hard time with the sea and none of us reached it yet.

You are having problems with enemies in the sea? All you have to do is to slash them along with the sea itself.

As expected of a hero swordmaster. She says absurd things like its nothing. ...Nn? She probably hasnt gone to the surface since coming here, so this means that she did that while still being of live human flesh? ...Tch, this is why heroes are

Now, first lets confirm. I received information from Chancellor, but I want to check it with my own eyes.

Im still at 30, so be easy on me.

First I tried shooting magic on a target. Wait, what about swordsmanship?

It was unknown what the durability of the target is, and how strong I have become, but the targets durability did not decrease at all?

Hm-hmm.

Chancellor and Lana seem to be able to tell.

And next, I was made to defend from Lanas attack.

I know that shes holding back, but she is clearly aiming for the bare lineAlso, my rapier is creaking from the incoming force?

Ho-hoo?

She comes at me from the back and from the side. If not for the Silver Keys effect I would have been cut. My set effect that is Reaction Speed Enhancement is also big in this case.

Hm I see...

After continuing for a while until she was satisfied, next was confirming range.

The chancellor is to use Dark-type magic, which I am to reflect. There is no problem with Dark since I absorb it even if it hits me.

In order to reflect theDark Ballthat the Chancellor shoots, I respond to it withRoyal Reflect. When I do, I feel a resistance like I never felt before. This time its less creaking and more like crackling that comes from my rapier...

More strength than usual was necessary and it was difficult to reflect it at the angle I wanted it to.

I think that its matching Sires current state.

Likely so. Normally a sacred treasure would reflect it with ease. Still, it has no intention of letting it pass. It will block the attack as long as Sire reacts well enough, as expected of sacred treasure.

Then, lets have Sire master that form. Even I could not master it rather, I did think of it, but a defensive form did not match my nature. While it is deficient in attack, our Sire has magic to cover for that.

Im an amateur when it comes to martial arts, so please teach me starting from basics.

Basically, there was an ancient form that has become the base of the form that Lana uses. But since her ability to reproduce it was poor and it was hard for her to use it, she has arranged it in actual combat to make it easy to use for herself.

The fact she arranged it in live combat exposes her personality, when I mentioned it she answered reasonably with Swordsmanship is all about killing, there is no point if it cannot be used in actual combat.

Apparently the fact that her own life is at stake made her forego all needless movements or something like that. After coming back home she recalled her movements as much as possible and by repeating it, she made her body remember them.

Thats a pure martial artist character setting there.

Please look first. This is the basic form, and this one is the defensive form. And this my personal stance for close combat. I will have you learn this one, Sire.

The posture was only a little different, the centre of gravity was moved a little forward for the sake of having someone slash at you, but since I stay in long range it wont be necessary for me.

From my perspective Enten-style Princess Self Defense is purely for buying time. Parry in close combat, reflect in range; correct?

Yes, that is ideal.

Then we will adjust as you learn the basic stance, Sire.

My Goal - Graduate Apprenticeship

Make your swordsmanship master, Svetlana, acknowledge you

1. Unlock and acquire the skill.

Requester: Svetlana

Completion Reward: Title

I received a quest, lets learn without rushing, from the basics.

The chancellor left me to Lana and went back, I mingle among the knights and start training.

Lets take turns between Chancellor and Lana for a while. A form will likely take time, but what is the Skill treatment? Im really looking forward to it.

And so, I holed myself up in Nether for a few days going back and forth between the two. Today is the fourth day, Wednesday.

I finish breakfast and log in.

I walk while watching blooming Crystal Lotuses lined up next to the passage between the royal palace and Evernight Castle.

I only tweaked some layout in my housing menu but did not add anything. In general I only moved between the Chancellor and Lana so I have no clue about anything else.

Chancellor, lets continue.

We are nearly done, arent we. I cannot teach you Ancient Divine Linguistics...

Is that so?

That one is the domain of the Outer Ones, its aged, to say Above all, its a language that originally was not necessary...

This book is too special, isnt it. I will ask one of them to teach me in the near future.

Please do so. Now, lets begin.

Wizardry Linguisticss understanding increased to 100%.

Wizardry Linguistics reached the limit of its growth, Ancient Divine Linguistics was unlocked.

Ancient Divine Linguistics

The oldest language of origin, said to have been lost in the distant past.

If only I could get in contact with them, those who have existed since ages past...

Its promoted to a Rare Skill in other words, it costs 16SP I had so much SP, but its all taken from me.

I feel like Lanas will also take 16 of me...

Well, I will take them.

I guess I wont be able to read it yet, but might as well check.

A specific requirement was fulfilled, you acquire One Who Peaks into the Abyss of Sorcery.

Hey its not enhancement of equipment or Skill unlocking, but acquirement?

One Who Peeks into the Abyss of Sorcery

You have begun to decode a super-ancient grimoire containing forbidden knowledge.

Part of the grimoires knowledge flows into you...

Your Max MP and MP Recovery Speed receive a big increase.

The moment I started to understand words, it force-acquired itself So its not Race-related, but a normal Skill? Its effect is plain, but outstanding.

Its really fun when improving myself progresses nicely. This is the real pleasure in a game.

Now, its a little early but lets have lunch, then go to Lanas place in the afternoon.

I finish lunch and head to the training grounds.

I sometimes see Alf-san at the training grounds, too. But at this time he is not there today.

Lana, I came today too.

Good day, Sire. We will provide you maximum support.

I not only train form, but also do some practice combat. Seems like my Skills go up with just this. Well, I think that game-wise its hard to level up this way, but as long as it isnt 0 exp, my level will go up eventually.

Clad in Death reached level 20. 1 Skill Point Acquired. Effect has increased.

Automatic Recovery Trait reached level 30. 2 Skill Points acquired.

Automatic Recovery Trait reached the limit of its growth, Recovery Trait was unlocked.

Life Absorption reached level 30. 2 Skill Points acquired.

Enten-style Princess Self Defense reached level 30. 2 Skill Points acquired.

Enten-style Princess Self Defenses ArtRoyal Spherewas acquired.

Super MP Recovery reached level 20. 1 Skill Point Acquired.

Slender Sword reached level 25.

Slender Swords ArtEkriksiswas acquired.

Skills without Arts are displayed in the log even if they have no notification set.

Ekriksis

Explodes the pierced target from inside.

Royal Sphere

Defends from all directions.

Ekriksishas fairly nice firepower. As long as you manage to pierce in. When it is avoided, the explosion will not activate. In other words, when its avoided it turns into a normal thrust.

DuringRoyal Spheres effect duration, an effect that looks like a membrane appears around me and blocks attacks. While its useful against AoE magic, it has a long cooldown Well, its better to have it than not, so thats fine.

As for Recovery Trait its just as the name suggests. The effect changed from affecting only automatic recovery, to one that affects all recovery. This is an Immortal-specific Skill, so it costs 3SP. Lets acquire it. Its priority is quite high, a must-have Skill at this point.

And the result of enhancing myself and training with knights was...

Kokon Musou1 - Single Sword-Style was unlocked due to your actions so far.

Farewell, my 16SP. Rare Skills eat my SP without mercy...

Do you wish to acquire Kokon Musou?

Of course and there.

Kokon Musou and Enten-style Princess Self Defense cannot exist at the same time. Please confirm Kokon Musou well before choosing.

Management sure is emphasizing on it Lets do as they say and check it.

Kokon Musou

An ancient swordsmanship style arranged by Sword Princess Svetlana from an ancient martial art.

A super-practical swordsmanship style that focuses only on defending oneself and slashing the enemy.

In exchange for not having any cooldowns, it requires the user to learn motions (forms).

The better the reproduction the higher effect it has, but its Arts lose all semi-auto support.

Ex Basic Form

In other words it loses all support from the system? Im doing it the manual style in the first place so I dont need it, but...

What interests me more, is the flavor text saying An ancient swordsmanship arranged by Sword Princess Svetlana from an ancient martial art.... Sword Princess Svetlana makes me curious, just how ancient is she?

...Ah, ahhh, right. Svetlana who is here is already dead. I dont know how long has passed but There was an ancient martial art, but Svetlanas swordsmanship is already ancient, too. is what it means?

How many centuries need to pass to be judged ancient? It might be a four digit number...

Still, this is a big gamble...

Is something the matter?

Kokon Musou - Single Sword-Style was unlocked, but Im troubled whether to take it.

Hm? That Outsider called Alf is one thing, but there is no need for you to worry, is there? Sire. While Self-Defense can deal with any situation, its wide and shallow stalling for time. Its something like my Basic Form.

Since you are mentioning Basic Form, this means you will teach me other forms?

But of course. I have shown you right at the beginning, havent I? As long as you learn the basics, other derivations are for specific applications. If its you, Sire, then you should master it right away. From here I will teach youAirflow FormandWater Current Form, as well asMirror Form.

So, she will teach me three forms.

My Enten-style Princess Self Defense disappearing will hurt me SP-wise, butit cant be helped?

From what I have seen of Sires movements, there should be no inconvenience for you. If anything, there is a high possibility that it will be easier for you than using Self-Defense.

Cooldowns disappearing is extremely big. Although there is a need to trace forms, it might be actually fun if I think of it as of RP.

Alright, lets take it. I could only recover 4SP, so Im on minus six farewell, Self-Defense.

Kokon Musou was acquired.

Specific requirements were fulfilled, Title: Successor to Ancient Swordsmanship was acquired.

Atham of Divine Protection has adapted to its holder.

My Goal - Full Mastership

Make your swordsmanship master, Svetlana, acknowledge you.

1. Acquire six Forms.

Requester: Svetlana

Completion Reward: Title Update

Successor to Ancient Swordsmanship:

The proof that one has acquired the Kokon Musou Skill that Sword Princess Svetlana has been most proficient in - the Single Sword-Style.

It seems that there are successors of it on the surface, but it has already devolved into mere childs play.

Allows for using forms effects at full specs.

Most likely it continued in djs and among knight troops on the surface but it seems to have deteriorated. Its effect must be low.

Its 3 p.m., hm? Lets continue learning those three, important-looking forms.

By the way, Enten-style Princess Self Defense disappeared from my Atham, being exchanged for Kokon Musou. Apparently it increases the effect of each form derived fromBasic Form.

Then first, forAirflow Formlegwork is the main focus. Most of it is included withinBasic Form, so it should take no time. It is the easiest derivation.

Specific requirements were fulfilled, Kokon Musous Extra Art has been added.

Then next isWater Current Form. This one specializes in parrying any non-magical attacks. While the form itself isnt very difficult, using it in actual combat might be another matter. But since you have experience with Self-Defense, there is a high possibility it will feel easier to you than before.

Specific requirements were fulfilled, Kokon Musous Extra Art has been added.

Finally, there is theMirror Form. Its a form that specializes in reflecting any ranged attacks. Whether you can handle it in actual combat is another thing, however. This form is very difficult to use in combat, but with your spatial awareness, Sire, surely you will master it better than I have.

Arent your expectations heavy.

I only put my expectations where it counts. If you master it, Sire, you will manage even if you are surrounded. By all means show me and charm me with it.

Shes all smiles, this person. Serious, isnt she I will do it though. Its the form I want the most.

Specific requirements were fulfilled, Kokon Musous Extra Art has been added.

As expected, Sire. You learn fast, have dexterity to move as you please, and you have perseverance. You also move your upper body well. It is fun to teach you.

It took me more than a half day to learn these three...

That is plenty good, even scary. There are three more derivations of the basic form, how about it?

Its nearly 7 p.m. in the real world. Lets stop here. But before that, lets ask about the remaining forms.

The remaining forms areAnti-Human FormandAnti-Monster Form. As their names suggest, they are offensive forms specialized against humans and monsters. There is also theDefensive Form. Its a form that focuses on defense. From what I saw during combat practice with you, Sire, it will not have its turn. Please do your best with Water Current and Mirror.

Understood. I want to go to the surface soon, so lets leave it at this for now...

I will be waiting for you at any time, so lets continue when you are ready.

Please take care of me at that time.

There is still time until dinner, so lets confirm how my Skills work.

InEx Basic Formthere are... multiple Arts.

There areSword Technique EnhancementSlash EnhancementLeg Strength EnhancementDefense EnhancementParry EnhancementandReflection EnhancementArts which are enhanced depending on the currently used Form.

WhenEx Basic Formis used, all six Arts are active, but their bonus value is low.

DuringEx Water Current Form,Sword Technique EnhancementandSlash Enhancementare lost, butParry Enhancements bonus values skyrocket noted. There is no change to other values.

Ex Mirror Formalso loses the same two, but itsReflection Enhancementskyrockets. Same as the previous one, other values are unchanged.

Its certainly very strong, but that is under the assumption that I manage to use Forms properly. If I cant, the bonus values are all zero. This Skill is all up to how precisely I can recreate the motions that are in my head.

And the reason there are deviations in the form that appears in my head, is possibly due to my low level of my Skill...

The chancellor and Lana spoke in a very interesting way. You learn fast, have dexterity to move as you please, and you have perseverance. You also move your upper body well. that is.

Cant this be taken as You learn fast (INT), have dexterity (DEX) to move as you please, and you have perseverance (SPI) . You also move your upper body well (body control).?In Chancellors case, can it be that the teachers INT affects teaching? Its up to how easy to understand one teaches, and good an understanding the student has..

It is a game, so there should be stat values among the internal data. Every time we act, I think our actions must be consulted with them...

And since muscle training has an effect, how about form practice? If I do it, wont the form images precision in my brain become clearer? My real self will learn it too, so maybe instead of the usual core training I should switch to form practice...

What Im curious about is AthamsElement-Focusing Loop Mechanism.

Death, Light and Dark were simply Instant Death and Curse, Light and Dark elements. The blade changes between white and black, but Deaths color is denser than Dark.

The problem is Spatial. I dont know what it does. Compared to other elements, its blade deals about 40% less damage. By the way, I like its colors the most - it looks like the night sky. Its deep, dark blue and has white star-like points floating over it.

What is the image you have when you hear Spatial Element? At the very least I know that the blade does not deal direct damage.

Dimension slash? If it was possible it would already happen though. That probably isnt it.

...Speaking of which, the inventory is a Spatial-type thing, right? Destroy the targets inventory and make items spill? That would be too sadistic so probably is not it. I believe in you, Management.

Ah...

Oo...ops. Hm?

That was splendid, Sire.

There was a rogue bullet going my way so I deflected it, but this needs to be verified.

Lana, is there anyone good at magic around?

Of course there is.

There is something I want to verify, so join me in it.

First I have them shoot magic which I parry and reflect, I switch elements around as I do so.

As a result, it turns out that matching the incoming element with my own makes it easier to parry. And above all, Spatial element parries everything easier than even matched elements.

In other words, in exchange for weaker direct attack power with the blade, it receives a bonus adjustment to reflecting. While it is Spatial, its more like a Spatial barrier.

While at it, I had Lana help me try it against close combat attacks, and as a result it was also easier with it. It seems to give a bonus adjustment to both parry and reflection.

When attacking with the sword I need to use Death or Dark, Light against Undead. For everything else, I should use a Spatial blade.

A Spatial blade takes about 5% of my MP. Compared to that, other elements consume almost no MP. I think Death costs nothing because its my own element.

That should be about it?

I say thanks to the people who joined me for testing, then return to my royal villa and have dinner.

Onee-chan! They say theres update tomorrow!

Hee, is that system coming?

They say theyre adding it~.

Feels like there will be more chuunis now.

Should I use shortcut words? Some spells can be long.

I have dinner and a bath, then log in before going to sleep.

Now that I finished what I had to do in a hurry, lets confirm what I was curious about.

[Material] Crystal LotusRarity: EpQuality: A

Phantasmal flower growing in Nether which is said to reflect the true nature of one who touches it.

Since it can be only acquired in Nether, its longed for by medicine-makers and alchemists.

When I plucked it, it shone with white light...

I scoop some water from the lake that is connected to the river.

[Material] Water of RecollectionRarity: EpQuality: A

Water from a river in Nether, extremely rich in magic power.

Since it can only be acquired in Nether, its longed for by medicine-makers and alchemists.

Lets scoop some of it into Gushing Flask.

Whats left is soil and that gathering point in the corner.

[Material] Pure SoilRarity: EpQuality: A+

Pure soil, extremely rich in magic power.

Since it can only be acquired in Nether, its longed for by medicine-makers and alchemists.

[Material] Moon-NetherliteRarity: EpQuality: C

Moon-Clearlite which had been continuously exposed to moonlight in Nether where its constantly night and which altered it.

They are useful as a material for making Magic Catalysts, ones gathered in Nether are extremely valuable.

My Mining is low which is why its quality is really poor. I guess its good enough that I can even gather it.

Also, those fruits...

[Material] Holy PunicaRarity: EpQuality: A+

White pomegranate which is regarded sacred as the symbol of revival.

Pure white pomegranates are very rare.

The reason they are all of high quality, is most likely because they are gathered within the castles grounds. Their rarity is high purely because they are goods from Nether, where normal people cannot enter.

Nnn lets carry them to masters place. She will surely tell me how to treat them on the surface.

I scoop water into a large empty bin and also gather five of each material.

Then using the mini-portal at my home, I jump to Starting Town. Its been a while since I came to the surface. Hello, o Present World.

Now then, lets head to Grannys home.

Its been a while, Master.

So its you looks like you managed to get to Nether?

Yes. And now I have things I want you to take a look at, Master.

Things that can be gathered in Nether? I can imagine a few, but lets see what will you show me.

I lined them up one by one on the counter.

I heard rumors of these, but to think I would see them myself hmm I will tell you what I know, that fine?

Please do.

Crystal Lotus is a phantasmal flower which links with a persons soul, making it sought after by the country itself.

Water of Recollection which is rich in Magic Power, is sought after by those called witches.

Holy Punica will be sought after by the church; Pure Soil and crystals are also limited in supply, as such there will be plenty of those wanting it. Be careful when dealing with these.

Hmm...

Did you become able to see the colors of souls? O king of Afterworld.

Yes, I did.

It will serve as an estimate whether you can trust someone. If you are going to church, pass them directly to Lucianna. Do you intend on distributing those?

I believe that from here on Outsiders will bring back materials other than Moon-Netherlite. I guess there will be no problem if I distribute some water?

Feels like other Witches will flock to you good grief. With that said, its no wonder since its Water of Recollection

If there is anything you want from these, I will give some to you, Master.

I sure have a good disciple. Lets have them, except for lotus and fruit. Ohh, also next time you scoop water, use a magical vessel. Its a waste otherwise.

Granny said so and went into the back to move water onto a large vessel. Its a vessel made with Magiclay, isnt it.

She did mention before that things with Magic Power should be held inside containers with Magic Power didnt she.

Lets make some Magiclay with Pure Soil, Water of Recollection and an Orb mixed in.

I wont stop you, but that will be a really luxurious vessel only available for the owner of the production area like you.

By the way, there was an interesting word that she has been mentioning since earlier.

What kind of existence are witches?

Ahh, so you dont know. Lets see they are women who go through certain studies, have a slightly special Magic Power and use that Magic Power in order to create what is called Witchs Brew.

In the distant past, Witches researched and managed to create highly effective potions.

However there were few Witches, which resulted in the amount of them crafted being very low. They only ever reached royalty, dukes and marquises at most.

There, as a result of establishing crafting in a way to make it possible for anyone to make them, the overall quality of potions fell.

And in order to make a distinction between these and the highly-effective ones made by Witches, witches potions were called Witchs Brew.

Witch points at one who has finished their studies and had her lifespan drastically extended. In order to become a witch, one needs to find a master and be acknowledged as a disciple. A witchs recipes are being succeeded by their disciple. Even if you went and stole their recipes, it will be for nothing since they require a witchs peculiar Magic Power.

I see. But first of all, potions have no use to me, so its good enough that I learned that witches are no enemy.

Are they enemies in your world?

Rather than enemies, they are detested I should say. The image each person has of witches can be very different.

Dont touch them in here. In general, they are an object of admiration of all potion-makers. There are too many people you will make your enemies that way.

I will remember this.

Speaking of which, I heard from my little sister that my family name is famous enough to be known even by children, but what about Lana? Shes the hero of the South I guess she isnt known on this continent?

Master, do you maybe know the hero, Svetlana?

Svetlana you mean the great hero of the South? Even kids know her. Thats a sudden question.

How long ago was that?

Wasnt it about 600 years ago?

I see, quite some time has passed.

And yet shes famous, there are picture books about her around.

Picture books? Maybe I should show her some...

...You, you cant have...?

Yes, she was in Nether. Im learning swordsmanship from her.

...Spare her seeing those picture books. Shell die from embarrassment.

What a shame. Lets just tell her about it. ...Now then, I will leave for today.

I will get to making something right away, too...

Lets bring her materials sometimes.

I leave the store and log out.

Apparently there is an update tomorrow, so I will log in after the maintenance.
